It seems clear to me that the USA, the EU, and NATO are doing everything they can to provoke a war with Russia. This includes providing political cover and cookies and photo-ops with John McCain for Ukraine’s neo-Nazis, personally insulting Putin, breaking negotiated agreements with Russia, endlessly threatening sanctions, and lying in the press (with fake photos, fake flyers, and false reports).
The latest entry into the “provoke a war” campaign is the IMF. The IMF seems intent on pitting Ukraine into a death-match with Russia by threatening their loan status: Fight, or else your loan conditions will be ‘renegotiated’. Since Ukraine’s economy is hanging on ONLY by this thread, the IMF’s statement is an existential threat to the Kiev government.
At this juncture, there’s no point in trying to figure who is behind all this. With the entry of the IMF (and for all I know, the remainder of the troika: the European Commission and the European Central Bank ECB) into the fray, this is clearly a well-coordinated plan, with the USA and the EU and the IMF alternately taking turns to push the project forward, creating no discernable division of interest between them.
Until recently, the Kiev government has been reluctant to mobilize its army because the army itself is probably divided; there have been reports of “security forces” defecting to the east. Instead, the Kiev government has been trying to create citizen militias… pro-Nazi groups and other irregular forces to take the place of the army.
Since the IMF has threatened to renegotiate the loan status, Turchinov, the unelected President of Kiev… oops, I mean Ukraine… has reinstated the draft. I can't imagine what liberal pro-western Ukrainians are thinking now... "Doubled gas prices? Halved pensions? And now the draft???"

Ukraine crisis: Kiev reinstates conscription

This seems entirely reasonable, especially when you read the article.
And I don't see how the Ukrainian military can effectively counter a heavily Russia-backed insurgency in the East. So yes, expect the IMF deal to be torn up and replaced.
It's not personal. It's just war.

Ooh ooh that smell
Can't you smell that smell
The smell that's around you?
It's a smell they've proven throughout their history to be able to get used to pretty quickly.

There you go again. Letting the people responsible for these problems off the hook because all you want to do is blame those who are trying to help.
You never did answer where it is you come from. You have however proved your ignorance on all subjects under the sun and your inability to stop yourself from proving it.
Better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
It is as plain as what you say is wrong, everything about what you speak is based on your hate.
I followed the first link and saw nothing of what you speak. It is the Ukraine along with everyone else blaming Russia.
I am done with trying to cut you slack. To continue discussing this or anything else with you would only mean there is something wrong with me.
You are a disappointment.

^^^ Great smackdown on Sniggy, but she's like that inflatable Bluto toy you had as a kid ... knock it over with a punch to the face, and it just comes bouncing right back up as determined as ever. She will always be right, and you will always be wrong if you disagree with anything she spews.

She spews some pretty cogent stuff. Agree or disagree, it's worth investigating IMO.

"I am done with trying to cut you slack."
And that's all you've got? Personal insults? Being in a snit? You'd be a lot more convincing if you had some credible facts to back up your claims instead of a childish tantrum.
